For a long time,there is a generally accepted conception in academic circles,that intellectual property rights are particular,so the general principles and rules of civil law are not ap-plicable for solving the problems of intellectual property rights.This conception not only hinders the understanding of the nature of intellectual property rights,but also affects directly the legislative,ju-dicial and enforcement practices of intellectual property rights.This conception is based on the"tri-ple misreading",which includes confusing rights with the objects of rights,misunderstanding the natural attributes of intellectual property objects,and assuming that the characteristics of the object of rights determine the characteristics of the rights.Therefore,it is necessary to elucidate the essence of this conception,clarify the natural attributes of the objects of intellectual property rights,discuss why the characteristics of the objects of those rights does not lead to the particularity of rights itself,and fundamentally eliminate the myth of conception and justify the private-right gene of intellectual prop-erty rights and their belongingness to civil law.
